A word from Aria, the 'It's Merely a Flesh Wound' costume creator:

I (Aria Galauski) am wearing the costume. I had a below the knee amputation in June 2014. My inspiration was that family is pretty morbid, I mean we crack really awful jokes about my missing a leg all the time. My mum and I were at the Spirit store and we found a fake leg, and well...we came up with this freaky photoshoot. Why sit around and wallow when you can disturb the normal folk to no end? I don't see the point in trying to hide that I have an amputation, and instead think it is much more phone to use it creatively.

How to: Well, an amputation is necessary, but I don't recommend going THAT far! Basically, we just used face lightening makeup, a fake leg from the Halloween store, and a lot of fake blood.
